Jaipur: Overwhelmed at having claimed the wickets of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, Rajasthan Royals off-spinner Ajit Chandila said dismissing the two legends of the game was bigger than the hat-trick he took in the last season of Indian Premier League.

"You can take my hat-trick. These two wickets matter a lot more to me than my hat-trick last year!," said Chandila.

"It is like a dream come true for me. Taking the wickets of two legends of the game is like a double hat-trick for me. I still cannot believe this has happened, I feel I am in some sort of dream. I just cannot express how I feel. As a bowler, I cannot ask for anything more," he added.

After posting a formidable 179 for three, Rajasthan bowled out Mumbai Indians for 92 in 18.2 overs last night to register a convincing 87-run win in their Pepsi IPL match here.

Mumbai had a disastrous start as Chandila saw off Tendulkar in the very first over, and to top it up in his very next over the spinner dismissed Ponting. Chandila attributed his success to former India spinner Narendra Hirwani.

"Before the match, I was advised by Narendra Hirwani Sir to stick to my line and length and vary my pace. He told me I am bowling to players of really high calibre, but asked me to be confident in my approach.” he said.
